"As being an
unseperable part of our lives and a constantly renewed product which is making
us feel happy; the textile products are presented to domestic and foreign
customers. These products are qualified by the successes of our creative,
talented, young textile and fashion designers. Let's not forget that according
to William Morris (1834-1896), an aesthetic environment designed by textile
increases the labour and the efficiency of people."
